"What is going on?"
Rogue's eyes were dim as he stared in shock at the situation in the Arena. Clearly, he had also sensed Aotian's strangeness. That Light Finger seemed to be subtly turning the tide.
The members of the Wolf Fang Adventure Team, who had initially looked despondent and hopeless, now had a glimmer of light shining from the depths of their eyes.
Could it be that the young man could really defeat Shangguan Jin?! Although it seemed astonishing to everyone, the Battle Situation on stage appeared to be trending in that direction...
"Damn it, kid, what have you done?!" Shangguan Jin shouted angrily, his face cold as ice.
Aotian sneered and rapidly circulated his Transformation Technique. Suddenly, a faint sound of Dragon's Roar spread from Aotian's Dantian throughout his body.
The Light Finger seemed to grow even stronger due to the emergence of this Dragon's Roar, while the Blood Seal became increasingly weak. With this interplay, the Light Finger once again showed signs of overwhelming the Blood Seal.
"Damn it, what is happening?!" Shangguan Jin cursed repeatedly in his heart. The Mystical Energy within him surged continuously, shooting into the Blood Seal, barely stabilizing the situation.
Seeing Shangguan Jin's actions, Aotian let out a cold laugh and murmured:
"Can you stop it..."
Although Shangguan Jin was continuously channeling Mystical Energy into the Blood Seal, it seemed as if that energy was being absorbed by the Light Finger.
The veins on the Light Finger became increasingly dense, and the destructive aura emanating from them grew more terrifying. It seemed that beneath this Light Finger, even a deity would be obliterated.
"This is truly bizarre!"
Shangguan Jin gritted his silver teeth, and a hint of barely perceptible fear flickered in his eyes.
After all, this situation was too bizarre. The power of Blood Seal was slowly and strangely dissipating, while the power of Light Finger was gradually becoming overwhelming. At this rate, defeat was only a matter of time!
In fact, this strange occurrence was nothing unusual for Aotian.
After Aotian broke through to the innate level, the true might of Transformation Technique was finally revealed.
According to Yan, the greatest characteristic of Transformation Technique was assimilation. It would be the most foolish approach to compare endurance with a martial artist who possessed Transformation Technique. Once another person's Mystical Energy collided with Transformation Technique, their Mystical Energy would be assimilated by Transformation Technique.
For example, in this instance, when the martial arts displayed by Shangguan Jin and Aotian reached a stalemate, the power within Shangguan Jin's martial arts would be assimilated by Aotian's martial arts using Transformation Technique, leading to this strange phenomenon of mutual consumption.
"You are bound to lose!" Aotian shouted sternly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the veins on Light Finger became increasingly bright, and a destructive aura instantly enveloped Blood Seal. Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Blood Seal was crushed by Light Finger as if it were a mantis trying to stop a chariot, turning into nothingness.
Shangguan Jin, who had a mental connection with Blood Seal, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with darkness and his face as pale as paper.
At that moment, Light Finger continued its relentless advance toward Shangguan Jin. The destructive aura emanating from Light Finger put immense pressure on Shangguan Jin.
"To think you can defeat me is nothing but a delusion!" Shangguan Jin roared like a frenzied tigress.
Then, a powerful Mystical Energy erupted from within him and quickly transformed into a set of Mystic Energy Armor, firmly protecting him.
"Bang!"
Finally, Light Finger crashed heavily against the armor. After a brief stalemate, everyone saw tiny cracks appearing on the Mystic Energy Armor worn by Shangguan Jin.
The cracks became more numerous and eventually spread throughout the entire Mystic Energy Armor.
"Bang"
The Mystic Energy Armor on Shangguan Jin ultimately could not withstand the pressure and was crushed by the Light Finger.
"Puff"
A mouthful of bright red blood mixed with some internal organs was spewed out from Shangguan Jin's mouth, and he was sent flying far away by the Light Finger, losing consciousness.
Silence! The entire arena was deathly silent!
Clearly, no one expected that Aotian could actually defeat Shangguan Jin.
Then, waves of discussion erupted:
"Impressive! This young man is impressive!"
"As long as he doesn't meet an untimely end, I dare say he will have a place in the future of Fengyun Nation!"
"However, after this match, there shouldn't be a need to continue to the next one."
"That's for sure. Although Amusement is talented, he is still far from Tan Qianqiu..."
"Bastard, I will kill you!"
Suddenly, Rogue's furious voice covered the arena, drowning out the discussions with its infinite killing intent.
Then everyone saw that the previously barely alive Rogue now seemed to be possessed by a divine dragon, gathering a terrifying Mystical Energy aimed at Aotian.
“Rogue, Aotian is a valued guest of my Wolf Fang Adventure Team, so I hope you show some respect!”
Xiao Ya let out a cold snort, unleashing a wave of Mystical Energy from her palm, which collided with Rogue's Mystical Energy, ultimately dissipating into nothingness.
“Xiao Ya?!”
Rogue's eyes were fixed on Xiao Ya, filled with fury.
“Rogue, if you dare to attack Aotian again, don't blame me for declaring war on your Breaking Army Adventure Team!” Xiao Ya said coldly.
“Declare war?!”
Hearing this, Rogue trembled with rage. He knew very well that Xiao Ya's firm attitude was entirely due to Aotian's presence; otherwise, how could the Wolf Fang Adventure Team, with only two Innate Martial Artists, dare to confront his Breaking Army Adventure Team?!
However, Rogue understood that he absolutely could not act against Aotian right now. Not only was he injured, but Xiao Ya was also protecting Aotian, making it impossible for him to harm him. Therefore, he had to suppress this matter for now.
With that thought in mind, Rogue sent someone to help Shangguan Jin up and then reluctantly made his way toward the outskirts of the Arena.
Clearly, he realized there was no longer any need to continue the final match. Although Amusement had some talent, he was certainly no match for Tan Qianqiu. Even if Amusement were to take the stage, it would only be a humiliation.
Thus, the gamble set by Rogue ultimately ended in his complete defeat.
“Kid, geniuses are the most likely to meet an early demise in this world. Be careful!” Rogue threw one last harsh remark at Aotian as he left.
Watching Rogue retreat in embarrassment, Aotian's expression darkened.
It seemed he had made an enemy…
However, no matter what, starting today, the name Aotian will truly resonate throughout Desolate City. After all, at just fifteen years old, he was able to defeat Shangguan Jin, leaving Rogue at a loss for what to do. This is enough to elevate Aotian's reputation significantly.
Soon after, Aotian left the Arena with the Wolf Fang Adventure Team.
In the crowd, two figures in black robes stood side by side.
"This young man is impressive!" an aged voice spoke.
"Has the Grand Elder taken a liking to this kid?" a deep voice belonging to a middle-aged man responded.
"Heh heh, there is still much to be tested, but I believe that those Monsters in the academy may not be able to compare to this boy..."
"What? How is that possible?!" The middle-aged man's voice was filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't fathom that the Grand Elder would hold such a high opinion of that young man.
